"mom, you should eat more... one of the reasons why you fainted last time was because you didnt eat at all. dont make yourself trying to get worst...", Adung woke up awhile ago when Aum was not around, she just sleep too much and was dreaming. when Aum came back he saw his mom reaching out for the fruit at the side table, he came back being failed. he just knew that Aff wasnt there anymore and the caretaker said that she just went away without even telling. he hugged his mom when he came back, he suddenly forget his pain inside by worrying about his mom.
Adung: son, how are you doing? (brushing his hair, missing her son so much.)
Aum: (he just smile, dont want his mother to get worried. despite of this pain he has right now... whenever he's thinking about Aff, he still dont wanna lose hope. however, he's still confuse about his mother's problem... regarding to their family. its about his father, but he still dont know anything.) mom, before you faint... i still dont understand... i mean, did dad hurt you like this?
Adung: i dont wanna talk about your father right now... (she look away.)
Aum: mom, if you're not gonna tell me... how am i suppose to know?
Adung: pull out your shares as soon as possible...
Aum: what? i dont understand... why?
Adung: son, if there's gonna happen to our company... i dont want you to get involve. this is all because of your father.
Aum: mom...
Adung: son, im warning you... if you want to be successful in life, dont be like your father...
at that moment, he still dont understand why his mother said those things... is there something he has to know? or he has to see for himself? he still dont know what his father did, but at this moment... he's willing to find out. he cant let his father ruin their name. and right now, he'd just decided to take care of his mother, he cant allow his father do something that would make his mother suffer in depression.

"Theme of Love" CLICK ME (this was the song of my second teaser of five roses.)
"Aff... Rita...", Anchali was happy to see her daughters again. she hug them as she approach them "i miss you two so much...", she continued. the two hugged their mother and they both feel the same way as they miss their mother. they both apologize for they did of running away, but as a mother... she forgive them and it doesnt matter if what happened in the past, the most important to her... is that everything is fine now.
"i thought i will never see you two again...", Ratsami said who just came. the two hug their father and apologize, Ratsami felt like he did something good for the first time... something that would make their family drawn more closer to each other.
Ann and Pat just came, they didnt expect to see their two sisters who just came back. but nothing could take their happiness away when the sisters are reuniting again, the family had a dinner together "once Ploy is back... i want to hold a party... not only for her comeback, but also for our family...", Ratsami said over dinner.
Pat: mmmm... since im working at Lilium Hotel... we can go hold the party there.
Ratsami: that's a good idea... i should go talk to Aum then... (then Aff and Ann look at each other, though Ann finally knew whom Aum loves... Aff just smile at her.)
Ann: speaking of him, dad... i... ummmm... Aum and i want to discuss about something. so i might drop by to the building once Aum is back to work.
Anchali: i bet its about their wedding, dear... (their parents were excited to discuss about their wedding again. however, they never knew how Ann felt so uneasy for a moment and she glance for how many times on Aff.)
Ratsami: i think they finally set a date for their wedding...
Aff: i know someone who'll design your wedding gown. maybe i should call him later... if you want. (Ann was surprise when Aff suggested and didnt even feel hesitate about their wedding. but she's not going to marry him... never.)
Rita: mmm... dad, is it okay... if we could invite THEM... to our upcoming party? (she was referring to her brothers.)
Ratsami: of course... we should invite them over. (Anchali smile at him and to Rita. she felt relief now that Wongrutiyan and Thabchumpon are in good terms now.)
meanwhile, Ploy was still at the plane... she still have 12 hours left to get back home... though she cant wait to see her family again, her mind is full of thoughts about HIM. she remember when they stroll around, he gave something to her, it was a small gift. she havent unwrap it yet... for they were enjoying their moment together awhile ago. she then remember that she put it in her shoulder bag and so she look for it... and finally she found it.
she didnt expect that he took this pictures. it was their sweet moments, this was after the night he took her. she was still asleep and didnt know that he took pictures of them while asleep. he kissed her from her forehead to her lips, when he kissed her forehead... the picture says "I'll...", then the next picture says when he kissed the pointed of her nose "remember...", and the last picture was when he kissed her lips and it says... "this moment...". "i'll remember this moment...", she cried and realize that she only misses him. just right now, she dont know what to do if she couldnt see him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aff approach her father the next day, before her father will leave to go to the office, she has to tell him something... regarding on her request, that is... if her father would allow her to work with Ken. Ratsami and Aff talk inside his study room, Ann was about to enter the study room to tell also her father about she and Aum's plan turning down the arrange marriage. but then she heard that Aff was still talking to their father.
Aff: dad, will you allow me to work with him then?
Ratsami: why would you want to other company if you already have your own company?...
Aff: i already work with him before, dad... and i didnt have problems when i work with him...
Ratsami: and you had problems eversince you work in our company? is that it?
Aff: its not that... well, if you wont allow me... i cant force you. but i just wanna see to it that im going to work in other department. (she dont wanna work with Aum again for there might be problems again.)
Ratsami: fine... since i'll be investing to his company... im gonna let you assign to this. i will let you work with him again. but make sure to report me everything i have to know.
Aff: yes, dad... (she hug her father for allowing her to work with Ken again.)
Ratsami: ok... (he look into his watch.) i think its time for me to go... maybe i should call him to tell that you'll be start working with him.
Ann heard everything, she was guessing that her sister will work with Ken. "what's the big deal? everything is doing fine now between Wongrutiyan and to your family. your sister is back... so is there any problem if she'll work with him? but what about Aum?", she thought to herself as she went back to her room to get ready now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he woke up not because of his alarm... but because his phone was ringing. "hello?", still yawning and trying to get up. "Rome...", unexpected call from his cousin. if he did call yesterday, he might talk to Rita. one thing that came up to his mind was her, for he knew how much she loves his cousin.
Rome: Krit... i didnt expect you to call. plus, you call at this early morning.
Chakrit: im sorry... did i wake you up?
Rome: isnt obvious? anyways, what's up?
Chakrit: in three weeks time, i'll be back...
Rome: that's good then... i think someone's really cant wait to see you... (he knew that what Rome meant was Rita.)
Chakrit: i still have to finish some things in the hospital and then i'll be back there. (he sighed, he dont know how he'll tell him about the truth.) Rome... listen... mmmm... i...- how's Rita?
Rome: she's fine. if you only know how much she misses you... (it felt like it was so hard to tell him that the fact that Rita misses his cousin.)
Chakrit: i see...
he end not telling him the truth, but Chakrit wants to finish up some papers in the hospital for his leave. he want to leave as soon as possible, he cant wait to see is wife again... and he cant wait to tell them the truth... especially to Rita. but why does he felt so afraid right now? like he cant even tell his own cousin about the truth, was he afraid that Rome might tell Rita the truth?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
she just got out from the airport, Ploy is finally back. now that she's back... she want gather all her courage to tell them about what happened to her during her stay in the States, but she's a little bit worried about her sister, Rita. how can she gather all her courage to tell her then? they're in love with the same man.
"mom???...", she put all her luggage on the floor once she arrive and get inside the mansion. as the servants took her luggage to her room, her mother, Anchali didnt know what to say now that her daughter is back and she even see her own daughter run onto her just to hug her mother "mom, i miss you...", she hug her back.
"First Love" CLICK ME (this was the song played in my third teaser of this story and this will be the background song as i want you to imagine a couple of scenes here.)
while her mother is preparing some food for her, Ploy just sat at the edge of her bed. she look around to her room. she notice that nothing seems change, not only to her room but the whole house. especially her room, the desk and other files that compile to her desk reminds of her old self... she'd tasted the life without even thinking what she'll work out next... during her stay in the States, she realize how much free time she has and she able to spent those times with the person she love. the first person who teach her how to love and being free. she lay down to her bed and get the pillow to hold it so tight, imagining it was him... she still misses him. she get the picture again to stare at it for a moment "i shouldnt have left you... you were right, we should leave together and tell them...", she was tired from the flight. she only took a nap inside the plane because she's always thinking of him.
meanwhile, Ann visit Aum and his mother in the hospital again. but as she arrive there Aum and his mother was getting ready to leave, Ann offered a helping hand to Aum to help his mother to walk and they both get inside the car. Adung invited Ann to their house and have some lunch with them, since she brought her car, she told them that she'll follow.
once they arrive to the Atichart's house, they had lunch together. when Adung decided to rest inside her room, only Aum and Ann was left. from there, she told Aum that he dont have to worry anymore, she told him that Aff is finally back.
Ann: you already have a chance to tell her...
Aum: i know... tell me, what push her to come back again?
Ann: actually, i really dont know... but if there's someone i could thank... that would be him. (she was referring to Ken.)
"him?", he dont know if whom she meant. but does he have to thank him? he was filled with hopes again. he cant wait to see her again, before Ann will leave to go back to the school, he told that her that he'll be back to work tomorrow. and that sign is what Ann was waiting for, whether their parents like it or not... they dont want to get marry, its not yet too late and that's the only thing Ann wanted. for there's no love involve between them and she cant go on with that.
Aff and Ken meet up at the restaurant as she wanted to treat him. "since it's your treat, i will order as much as i want", Ken startled at her. Aff just smile, but in her mind... this moving on she wanted made her satisfied. she cant wait to work with him and if its the least she could forget HIM, then it satisfy her.
awhile ago, he called her to meet up with him, for he want to show her their company, she was ready and tomorrow she will start working with him.
Aff: why dont you call on Por and tell him that i am inviting him for lunch.
Ken: i already told him about it but he said after work... he's going somewhere.
Aff: i see... well, then maybe next time. (she smile.)
Ken: tell me... why you eagerly wanted to start working tomorrow? and how did you convince your father to work with me?
Aff: its not that he's convince, he allowed me to work with you since he's one your biggest investors now.
Ken: i see... i thought... its about something else. (she knew what he meant.)
Aff: something else?... there's nothing else. its just about work, that's all.
he knew that the only reason why she wanted to work with someone else is to avoid someone. after they took their lunch, they will drop by at the Thabchumpon building to meet up with her father. in the end, Ken paid their lunch... for he cant allow her to pay for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"i cant believe it... the school director is your ex-girlfriend!?!", Pat was imagining that Por's ex-girlfriend just had the same age with her mother. she also notice that they were heading at the school where her sister Ann works. "wait.... wh-why are we going to my sister's working place?... oh, no... you mean the school director of the school of arts-", he stop the car and was annoyed already.
Por: can you please... just shut up for a moment, i cant concentrate-
Pat: fine! (she sit up straight and was about to ignore him. once they arrive, Por just cant seem to figure out if what he'll do next and then...) oh, my sister-!
Por: great...
Pat: why?
Por: call your sister...
as they call onto Ann, they both get out of the car and Pat introduce Por to her. "he's Ken's brother...", she ended as Ann and Por shake hands together. Ann invited them to get inside the school. while walking at the corridors "if your sister will ask why we're here... just tell her that you want visit her", he whisper on her.
Pat: what! i cant do that... in the first place, your the one who brought me here... (she replied...)
Por: just do as what i say...
Pat: i cant-
Ann: so what brings you here, sis? (she look onto them.)
Pat: i... uh... i... uhmmmmm... you see, sis... ummm... i wanna check out some paintings of the students. i... i... ummm... i want propose something for Mr. Atichart, to revise something at the specific area of the hotel... and... and... i think its nice if the foreigners will see the artworks of the students... dont you think?
Ann: okay... (she smirk.) i think that's a good idea... and the students' artwork needs exposure you know... okay, let me show you the mini gallery here then, maybe you can check out some of the artworks of the students here.
Por: your professional in making up stories... (he startled at her as he whisper those words at her.)
she hit him at stomach by using her elbow "you deserve that...", she said as they get inside the mini gallery and look onto the paintings and mini sculptures.
timing Dianne was walking at the corridors and pass by at the mini gallery and she didnt expect to see Por. "Por...", she called on and get inside the mini gallery to approach him and hug him. Ann and Pat were a little surprise with her actions, especially Pat. Pat got into her idleness and didnt know what to react, she got the wrong idea about the school director...
Dianne: what brings you here? (she was happy to see him.)
Por: ummm... i just accompany her. (he was referring to Pat, Dianne's smile suddenly fade.)
Ann: oh, Dianne... i would like you to meet my youngest sister... Pat. Pat, this is Dianne Inchareon... she's the school director and owner of this school.
Dianne: (unexpected feeling as they both shake hands together. their hands were both cold and didnt understand why.) oh, my... are you nervous? (she startled at her.) your hands are cold...
Pat: you too! (she said sarcastically and smile at her.)
Dianne: so... what brings you two here?
Ann: oh, my sister wants to check out some of the artworks of our students. she had this proposal to Aum and she wanted to use some of the artworks of our students to display in the hotel.
Dianne: i see...
deep inside, Pat wanted to bang her head against the wall... she didnt know what she come up to and she want to blame this on Por. after they talk over to Dianne, they head back to the hotel as Pat wants to go back to her work.
Por: so what do you think about her?
Pat: who? (she dont wanna talk to him after what she come up to when they were at the school just for his ex-girlfriend.)
Por: i mean... her... Dianne... my ex-
Pat: i know... i know... (she was pissed.) why? what about her? i think she's so-so...
Por: 'so-so'??? but you did great there... (he was happy, as she save him from there.)
Pat: very funny... i look stupid there... i didnt know what i made up...
Por: but you know... you can play along with me...
Pat: what's that suppose to mean?
Por: we're still not done yet... i still need your help...
Pat: what kind of help?...
Por: i want you to be my girlfriend...
Pat: what???
Por: i want you to pretend to be MY GIRLFRIEND...
Pat: what!?!?! (she cant do that... she cant do what he ask for.)
Por: look, all you need is just to pretend you're my girlfriend...
Pat: but why?... why dont you just tell her that you dont love her anymore?
Por: because she never stops bothering me... the more i see her... the more im just hating her... and you... if you want me to forgive you... then you have to do as what i say...
Pat: you're so unreasonable... i could have just email that school-
Por: Pat, you'll just pretend... what's the problem with that?
once they arrive that the hotel, she open the door and before she could close the door "i still cant do what you ask for... if you want to look for someone to pretend there are lot of pimps there for you to hire!", she bang the door as she close it and get inside of the hotel.
Por: (he dialed her number to call and as she answer the phone call.) you say... you want to be my pimp then? (he startled at her...)
Pat: pervert! i hate you!!! (then she hang up the phone and get back to her office.)
of course he was only teasing her, how can be an immature like her can be a pimp... plus, he just want to take this chance... but he still dont know if what kind of chance is that. maybe soon he'll find out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at the conference room, Ratsami just told everyone that Ken Wongrutiyan is now being part and one of his biggest investors in his company. he also told that Ken will contribute to the latest project of the Thabchumpon Corporation, the resort...
after the meeting Chiangsai and Ratsami went to his office and discuss over again about Wongrutiyan being part of his company now. Chiangsai doesnt like what's happening, he cant allow this to happen of course. but can he change what Ratsami that have been already decided?
Chiangsai: how come you decided to let him invest in your company? he's your rival in business circle.
Ratsami: let's just say... we got even when it terms to benefits. i also invest to their company.
Chiangsai: and do you trust him? base on our discussion... you invest a lot to their company.
Ratsami: Chiangsai, there's nothing wrong if i gave my trust to anyone... plus, he gave all his trust to me either. he also had upcoming proposals for me to see...
Chiangsai: i still dont think that its a right choice you made. im... im not really saying that you can pull it out right away, but if you want... you can observe him first.
as Chiangsai get out of his office, he encounter the person he hated most... Ken just came together with Aff as they were head towards Ratsami's office. they just glance at each other, Chiangsai was getting more enrage as Ken smile at him. it was devilish smile who dares to fight against the devil, that was Ken's perception when he unexpectedly encountered Chiangsai Atichart... who stepped on him a few months ago. that time, he was still weak and not stable because the past was haunting him... but now, he'd already change. he want to see with his own eyes how Chiangsai sneaking through back door to get what he wants that he doesnt have.
as Ken and Aff meet up with Ratsami, they both seated at the couch and Ratsami prepared the papers for Ken to sign, then Ken also took out the papers from his suitcase for Ratsami to sign. after signing, Ratsami told Ken that Aff will be the one to work with him.
Ratsami: Mr. Wongrutiyan, i now entrust you for the future project we'll have. (he smile.) and Aff here will be the one to work with you along side with me.
Ken: yes, sir... i apologize if i didnt went to the meeting awhile ago... but i did meet up with Aff and tour her around to my company.
Ratsami: its ok... besides, today is the day that we formally sign the contract. you're part of my company now.
Ken: and so you are, Mr. Thabchumpon... im very much welcome you to my company... (they both shake hands as they finally set their deal.)
Aff: dad, tomorrow i'll be start working with him...
Ratsami: okay...
both parties entrusted each other. however, Ratsami cant take for granted what his old friend said. of course, he still want to observe Ken, if he proves that he could trust him... then he'll never fail by investing to his company. also, one of the reasons why he gave him a chance was because of his daughter and his family. he was guessing that the one who cease fire from the war between Wongrutiyan and Thabchumpon... is none other than but this man. he was even wondering if why this man(Ken) is different from his father.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"do you want to come by to my house?", she wants to invite him... since she was telling non-stop how she was touched how she and her family get together again, except that they still have to wait for Ploy's comeback. while on the computer, making some 3d design for the specific areas for the resort... Rome cant seem to listen to her.
Rita: hey... are you listening to me?
Rome: im still working, Ms. Thabchumpon... why dont you finish your work, then after that we can start talking...
Rita: tsk... im just inviting you... you could have just answer yes or no...
Rome: well, my answer is NO... do you know how crucial the time i have right now? i just finish 5 presentations... and i still have 15-
Rita: ok, fine... fine... i'll go finish my work now.
Rita just realize how this man transform himself, especially when working. if you're at work, he's a different person... and if you're outside of the working place... he's back for being a nice guy. she wasnt amaze at all but actually she can finally adjust herself to him, since he's a workaholic... she thinks that she needs to change him, but she still dont know if what it is.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
finally, the day turns night, as everybody got home, they were surprise to see Ploy who's back now. actually, they knew that she'll be back one of these days but today surprise them a lot.
all her sadness fade away, once she saw her family together. but as soon as Rita arrive at home, their family was just looking at them, they knew that Rita and Ploy were the only one who quarrels a lot. the last time they talk was when Ploy was still in the hospital and she didnt care at all even if Rita was starting to make up with her. Rita hug her as she wants to welcome her and she was happy how Ploy can walk again, their family like what they saw as Ploy hug her sister back.
at that moment, Ploy cant even explain how she feels... she's happy that her family was happy to see her again, especially Rita. despite the happiness surrounding her, she cant even say that she's happy enough... now that she's back. there were questions inside her mind "what will be their reaction if i will tell them that im married already? what if the one i loved... was the one that dad hate?... and the person whom Rita loved?...".
Anchali was the one who prepared all the dishes, both Anchali and Ratsami were happy to see their daughters again... and they took their dinner together as a whole family. they miss this moment and Anchali can see that her husband was changing... after long, long years that she'd wait... now, she even witness with her own eyes how her husband anticipate this moment. Ann seated facing Aff, Rita was sitting next to Aff and Ploy was sitting between Ann and Pat. Pat notice her sister's ring...
Pat: wow~! how many karats is that? (she quickly wanted to hide her ring to turn it upside down, but Pat gets her hand to check out her ring.) its your birth stone... (Pat smile at her as it was really precious and then all her sisters, including Rita was looking at it.)
Ploy: mmm... yeah...
Pat: wow... its look so expensive...
Ann: how much is it?
Ploy: huh?
Pat: hey... i thought you're not materialistic, why did you buy something like this much?
Aff: i bet she didnt buy it... someone gave it to her... (startling at her.)
Rita: oh... who's this lucky then, huh?
Ploy: mmm... mmm... i... i... i just found it.
Pat: oh, come on~! i cant believe you know how to lie now.
Ploy: mmm... can you please pass me that dish? (she wanted to avoid the topic as soon as possible. they see how Ploy wanted to avoid the topic.)
Pat: (then Pat turn back her attention to the food.) ahhh... im so jealous...
it was hassle to her part to say the truth, she dont know how long she'll keep the secret and just looking to the ring makes her trouble that much. however, she cant take it off... it was the precious thing that Chakrit gave her. thinking of him, she cant look straight to Rita who expresses her happiness with her as now she's finally back... but will she be happy if she finds out the truth?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the party...
the Thabchumpon held the party at Lilium Hotel, celebrating for their family. they want to express their happiness to everyone as they thought everything is alright. Chiangsai wasnt happy and was the first one who hated to see this celebration, but for Ratsami who treats him as a friend... he has to attend. what's worst was when he announce to the people that Thabchumpon and Wongrutiyan will be having a future project after the resort that their company working out. aside from Ploy's comeback, he was also pissed that now that his daughter Ploy back from the US, she'll be his consultant in all business deals. how can he go on with his plans if someone's blocking it? not to mention, that Ratsami entrusted Ken now.
while Ratsami was talking to his business partners and other people who were invited in the party, both Ratsami and Anchali were waiting for their daughters to come out from the private rooms that Pat reserved.
the reason why their daughters were not coming out yet was because they havent decided yet if which one they'll wear. both Rita and Pat wanted to be glamour tonight, while both Ann and Aff were so-so to all the dresses.
Pat: i have an idea... why you wear this... and i'll wear this one. then you two... will wear these, so that the four of us will look uniform. (she gave the two dresses to Ann and Aff.)
Ploy: four of us... then what about me?
Pat: since the party involves with your comeback... you should wear different from us.
Ploy: huh?
Rita: i think... this one fits you... (she gave the strapless black stretch lace dress to her.)
she felt hesitant at first, but she has to act normal. meanwhile, Rita wore the gunmetal bubble dress that Pat gave her, then Pat was wearing the purple high waist bubble dress. the dresses that they were wearing just compliment with each other as it was both glamour. while Ann chose the black strapless sheath dress, then Aff chose to wear the strapless layered dress... just like with Pat and Rita's dresses, Ann and Aff's dresses compliment with each other as it was both showing the horizontal lines.
[here you go the smiley faces again... LMAO]
Ann went out first as she knew that the people were waiting for them already, downstairs she saw Ken who was standing and was like waiting for someone. as Ken turn his head to look up, he saw Ann was getting down. at that moment, time was running slowly for them, she hope that time did stop at that moment... but it wasnt. it was weird feeling for him, he forgot the feeling that something happened between them. but it was nothing but belongs to their bad memories during the past few months. now, it's different... he just realize how she looks great tonight. her eyes locked through him also as he was wearing an orient suit, a high cut contemporary mandarin collar with satin trim and single button.
Ann: hi! (she greet first as he was still speechless.)
Ken: hi... (he was still looking at her, and now that she's closer to him. he could see the real shape of her body, for him it was seductive enough.) mmmm... you look great. (he simply complimented her whole attire.)
Ann: uh... thanks... (she said as she shyly wanted to hid her bare-naked shoulders.) actually, i feel uncomfortable about this dress...
Ken: but it looks great on you... (since it really show her bare-naked shoulders and the shape of her body, her hair was in updo style and the dangling earrings compliment to the dress.)
Ann: uh... thanks again. (she smile.) so... ummmm... you're going there now?
Ken: uh... yeah... but i was actually waiting for- (he look up again and saw Aff.) oh, there she is... (she look to where Ken was looking at, it was Aff. then her eyes look again to him as she saw his reaction. he was happy to see her own sister.)
Aff: sorry... if i just read your message, i didnt know that dad was looking for us now. so how do i look like?
Ken: mmm... funny how it seems but you two look uniform... (he smile as he both look onto Ann and Aff.)
Aff: yeah, 'cause Pat was the one who chose these dresses and told us to wear it... (she look onto Ann and they both smile.) let's go? Ann?
Ann: ah, yeah... im just waiting for-
Aum: Ann... (they all look onto him, his emotionless expression just make this moment so intense.)
the four of them where they're standing, Aff's heart beats faster as she saw him looking through her. even though his face was emotionless, his eyes was on fire. he was wearing a cairo suit, a distinctive semi fly front, longer length single breasted jacket.
Ann could feel the tense as Aum couldnt take his eyes with Aff and Ken together. he cant bear seeing the person he loves to someone else. simply. with all people why this guy? that's what in his mind, Ann approach him and cling to his arm "let's go... dad's waiting for us now...", she said. she wanted to stop this moment, not only awkward... but it might get worst. Ann understand what Aum feels and so as far as she was concern... she has to calm him down. he didnt want to go but Ann pulled him and they finally went.
Aff wanted to cry but there were no tears coming out, its just that she cant take this kind of situation. not only to avoid this matter... but hopefully, she could forget this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Theme of Love" CLICK ME (you gotta play it before reading this segment here... LMAO)
as the party going along, Ploy went to outside as she felt suffocated at party... she even cant believe to herself that these changes on her makes a big difference. in the past, she used to socialize with other businessmen together with her father... but now, she felt like she needs an adjustment again. staying far away from the family and work, change her a lot she met him. by next week, she needs to go start working again... this time, she'll be her father's assistant and consultant to everything that goes well in their business. her father trusts her most when it comes to their business and she never fail him... what if just because she married the man she loved makes her being a failure, will her father hate her?
Ken and Aff were socializing with other businessmen together with Ratsami, at afar... Chiangsai cant bear watching that scene of how close and comfortable the way Ken and Ratsami talk, he walk away and dont want to spend the rest of his hours in this party, he wanted to go somewhere he could think and go for his plan. meanwhile, though Aum and Ann were also talking to other businessmen, the two just cant get off their eyes with Ken and Aff. for Aum, he cant stand it anymore, he doesnt even wanted to see Aff with other men... how much more with this man. with Ann, suddenly she frowned and wondering why the two got even more closer, how come he can talk comfortably with her own sister "oh, no... what am i thinking? they're just working together... and there's.... there's... nothing wrong with that!", she knew to herself why she felt jealous all of a sudden. did she just wanted his attention to hers only? or there's something else?
"im sorry if i was late... i still gotta finish some things...", he said as he whispered to her ears once he came and saw her. he look at her as he felt like she was dazzling all over... not because of her dress, but because of her beauty. likewise, with Rita's side, she just admire how Rome look tonight. wearing a picasso suit, italian inspired 2 button single breasted jacket featuring a black on black soft stripe and a satin lapel.
Rita: yeah, i know... as usual... yourself always wanted to get busy. (she offered him a white wine and he took his first sip.)
Rome: but you know... your dress complimented to my get up... (try to cheer her up.)
Rita: yeah... (she look at him once again, then turn her look back to other people who keep chit-chatting around. she was pretending that she didnt like his get up.)
Por was just sitting at the corner, he just got back from socializing... he's never good in socializing like this, except his brother. while sitting and watching those people who keep talking, Pat sat right next to him... "you seem so bored to this whole party...", she started. he never saw her awhile ago... until now. he just realize how she look more daring with her dress, first come up into his mind was... innocent... but tempting. he was so sure that it was compliment for someone who got tempted to the way how she looks tonight. the innocent that he knew just fade away, as she certainly transformed into woman... and he's a man who'll get her anytime.
Por: y-yeah... i... i... im not good in socializing. (he dont know why he just got stutter when he talked to her. was he really into her now?) mmmmm.... what about you? you should go there and meet someone...
Pat: what do you mean 'meet someone'? (she sigh and recline her back of the chair.) im done socializing already, everyone seems like the party that i organized. (he dont know what to say next, he just keep staring at her, then she notice.) why are you looking at me like that?
Por: nothing... (he look away.) do you.... really wear that kind of dress? (he look at her again and was trying to observe her dress.)
Pat: mmmm... just for occasions only. why? it doesnt look good?
Por: not really... its just that it look so daring.
Pat: let's just say... that it adds some points to all the businessmen out there... especially during parties.
he understand completely, she does wear the kind of dresses to flirt with other men with this kind of parties. but she wasnt flirting at all to him, in fact... one that he didnt understand was when she said those words to him. of course, if she was his girlfriend for real... he cant allow her to wear something like this. he stood up from his chair as wanted to get away from her, not because he hates the fact of what she said awhile ago. but he wanted to avoiding this feeling... temptation. "how clever of you to say that then", he smile "but you got me there... since you look stunning tonight", he finished as he smile at her and finally went.
she was flattered, eve though he's arrogant way shows towards her everytime they meet... for some reason, he wasnt really arrogant at all. she notice also that he look good to his vermont suit, a stylish four button single breasted formal suit with satin, reverse peak lapels. from there, she could imagine him as prince...but not just a prince. it was an arrogant prince who just complimented her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aff excuse herself as she wanted to take a break, she went outside and Ploy was about to go back inside. she didnt know that Ken followed her "hey... what are you doing here?", he said. he took out his blazer of his suit and try to make her warm.
Aff: uh... thanks... im just wanna breathe some fresh air since i've been there for hours already.
Ken: hell, yeah... i rather play an instrument than socializing... but i think we did a great job there, your father likes how we convince other investors. (she smile as she agreed with him.) let me get you some white wine then... i'll be back.
as Ken was trying to grab some drinks for him and Aff, Ann approach him to greet him again.
Ann: hi...
Ken: uh... hi (he simply greet.)
Ann: so how's the party going? my younger sister arrange this party and it seems like you get along with other businessmen there.
Ken: yeah... thanks to your sister. (he was referring to Aff.) even your father liked how we convince the investors of your family's company.
Ann: i see (she bluntly smile.) so how's working with Aff?
Ken: it was good... she's a great help and in fact she's more knowledgeable than me when it comes to stock marketing. since most of my years was only with the music, no wonder i still have a lot to learn...
Ann: you're so humble... even without my sister... your company runs good, that's because you're the president of the company.
Ken: not at all... without my brother and other people help me out... i cant run this alone.
Ann: so how's your compositions going well? do you still have plans to make them?
Ken: ah, yeah... of course. actually, i might need your help...
Ann: my help?
Ken: yeah... mmm... well, i want you to hear one of my compositions that im preparing. i still dont know if its good enough to put it on my next release.
Ann: i see... so... when will i help you then?
Ken: next week? maybe we should meet at the shop since i go there a lot... i mean after work, i go there straight...
Ann: i see... okay, then...
she didnt know why she felt so happy about it when Ken invited her and need her help just for his compositions. maybe because she's was also a fan... and thus, she like the fact that he's a mellow-dramatic musician. she admires how he expresses his feelings through music. on that moment, she was thinking if one day Ken compose a song for her only. deep inside, she would die to hear it.
"Aff....", as someone called her. she thought it was Ken who just came back and got some wine for her. but it wasnt... it was Aum who called on her. on that moment, they thought that time would stop for them. she look away as Aum comes closer.
Aum: Aff... (he called again.)
Aff: (she thought for a second, she dont want to talk about what happened last time.) what?
Aum: i... i... ummm... i love-
Aff: Aum, i thought you already understand about what i said last time...
Aum: but i just want to make up with you...
Aff: if i forgive you now, will you stop bothering me again?
Aum: but Aff-
Aff: Aum, please stop it-
Aum: (he hold onto her.) but what i said last time was true... i do... i do...-
Ken: Aff, here your- (Ken just got back but he didnt expect to see Aum being enrage once he appeared and felt like he interrupt their conversation.) i... im sorry-
Aff: no... its okay, Ken. give me that. (she gets the glass of wine as she let go of his hands to her.)
Aum: Aff-
Aff: by the way, im working with him from now on. that means, im working at Wongrutiyan corporation.
Aum: i know... (he hate the fact that she cling onto Ken...)
Aff: we should better go back inside now, i think dad's looking for us now. (she said onto Ken.)
Aum: (before they could probably leave him... he stop her.) wait... (he look at her, he was still enrage.) are... are you... are you-
Aff: (she look at him one last time...) dating him? (she smirked.) if that's what you think... well, then i should say yes... so stop bothering me anymore.
Aum: i cant believe you-
Aff: let's go, Ken...
Aum: i hate you...
that's what she only wanted to hear, since she was already used to it. but her heart and mind were fighting over, for her mind tells her that this is the right thing to do... but her heart tells her how stupid she is. as the party ends, Ken offered her to go drive her home. while Ken drives her home, he knew that she was crying... but she's was crying silently. he stopped the car at the convenience store, he both something to sob her a little after the party. he bought some sodas and snack.
Aff: (as he look onto her, he big sigh and look away.) why?
Ken: nothing... you're not only hard headed... but your heart is also made of steel.
Aff: huh? why?
Ken: mmm... you keep restraining yourself to someone who's already close-
Aff: oh, c'mon... i thought, once i agreed to ride with you... you dont make a fuss. but now, you wanted to talk about what happened awhile ago... please, i dont wanna talk about it.
Ken: see... you're avoiding.
Aff: i am...
Ken: but you know... if there's anything i could help you... just tell me then...
Aff: its not like im gonna need your help... im just gonna work in your company...
Ken: oh, really... why did you told him that you're dating me?
Aff: oh, that?... i just told that so that he'll never bother me again...
Ken: that's really absurd... you were just making a border line to yourself so that he wont get-
Aff: Ken, that's what i want... he's getting marry with my sister and i dont want to put myself in trouble again...
"what if he'll give up his marriage just because he loves you?", from his question... he totally got her. she didnt answer, she dont know what will be her answer. but she cant let something will happened again to trouble their family only. but if he'll give up his marriage just because he truly loves her... she dont know either what to do if that time comes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he punch his son hard, he cant let his son also ruin his plans. "i cant marry someone whom i dont love, dad!", Aum answers back and even if his own father punches him for how many times. his father cant change his decision...
Chiangsai: i tell you... and im warning you... even if you're my own son... i cant let you ruin my plans.
Aum: i dont care about your plans! its fine with me if you keep hurting me like this for how many times. you can hit as long as you want. but you'll never change what i've already decided.
Chiangsai: im warning you... tomorrow, hopefully you finally made up your mind... because right now, im telling you... even if you're my son... im gonna kill you. a bastard like you just wanted to think yourself only... (he get out of his room.)
he just witness how his father got mad, no wonder his mother got hospitalize because of his father's true nature. however, he doesnt even know what his plans are. he wanted to know and he wanted to stop him as soon as possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ann, we'll talk at home...", Ratsami warned her. her father didnt expect for her to give up her marriage. yes, she dont wanna get marry, for she wanted be free... worst was didnt oppose to their marriage. she waited him at his office, she cant even calm herself down for she was so disappointed with Aum.
as Aum arrive to his office, he already expected and knew that Ann was there... waiting for him. he already knew what she will say "why you didnt told them???", that was her first question. he suppose to tell her father that he's in love with someone else... and that someone else is still Ratsami's daughter. there were only two reasons why he shouldnt have to oppose their marriage. first, he wanted to know what his father's plan and once he get to know... he has to stop him as soon as possible. second thought, his love for someone else is getting worst only. Aff wanted to show how she hated him and if that's what she wanted, he cant give up this marriage.
Ann: what's wrong with you? i thought you would help me to tell our parents that we dont want to get marry!?! (pushes him back.)
Aum: its not that easy... you see... how am i suppose to let go you if our parents really wanted us to get marry?
Ann: but you could have just told them that you dont love me... that you love my sis-
Aum: its over, okay... your sister doesnt love me... so why should i let you go?
Ann: what??? is that mean.... (she sighed and look at him into discouragement.) so you're making me as an excuse for them?
Aum: your sister doesnt love me... so why i should let go of you...
Ann: (she slap him on the face and cant believe that he eve repeated it.) you're worst than i thought! i cant let you have me... im not even in love with you... Aum, i can help you through this... but we just gotta-
Aum: how can you help me if its over... she's even working with that guy~! worst is that she told me that she's dating him~! its over~! she dont want me anymore...
Ann: (after he said those words, the guy that he was referring was none other than but Ken.) how could you say that? how can you be so sure... that she only said those words to-
Aum: to hurt me! i know... and if you wanted to help me... whether you like it or not, we're going to marr- (before he could end it, Ann slap him again.)
Ann: i hate you...
she left the room, with no words to say at all after she slapped him. he deserve it, since he's even worst than she thought. however, as she left the building... in her mind it just keeps repeating "she's even working with that guy~! worst is that she told me that she's dating him~!", what Aum said just keep repeating in her mind. it somewhat got her that she cant even explain to herself if so what if Aff's dating Ken? but no matter what, she cant let their family continue their wedding. if Aum still loves her sister... then, she'll be the one to find some way to let Aff know that Aum loves her.
